The launch of the steamboat took place in a lake near Gyeonggi Province.
Because this steam boiler was loaded on a river boat, this flat-bottomed boat was slowly transported by countless people using rolling logs. Because it was too big, the officers of Shuntian Mansion were even mobilized to clear the way for it.
Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao were already waiting here.
This is a steam wooden ship. Under the current technical conditions, making an iron ship is almost a dream.
After all, the power required by an armored ship is too great, and it cannot be solved by current steam boilers.
In order to place the boiler, the ship was very large, nearly twenty feet long.
From a distance, the hull of the ship looks long and narrow, with a chimney on top.
The bottom of its ship is a hidden wheel.
That is to say, a steam engine is used to drive a hidden wheel to provide power for ships.
This thingeven though it is just a wheel blade, it has gone through many detours in history. At that time, people also tried to make steamships, but at first, they were made of paddle wheels. The so-called "paddle wheels" were installed There are large wheel-shaped paddles on both sides of the ship outside or at the stern. The paddles rotate backward and hit the water, using the reaction force of the water to push the ship forward. However, the efficiency of using a paddle wheel for propulsion is relatively low. Especially when encountering large winds and waves, the oars will often come out of the water and spin, causing the boat to shake violently while driving.
It was not until fifty years later that people realized this huge drawback. Some people tried to make improvements, and finally invented a propeller that resembled both a windmill and an electric fan blade to replace this paddle wheel, which greatly improved the efficiency of the paddle wheel. The efficiency of steam utilization increased and the speed of navigation was increased.
Fang Jifan stared straight at the 'hidden wheel' loaded on the stern of the ship, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The so-called technological progress is actually just a process of constant trial and error.
From the paddle wheel to the hidden wheel, it actually only takes one thought, and the technical difficulty required is not high.
But just such a thing was delayed for fifty years. Only with the advent of the hidden wheel did steam ships have the possibility of large-scale application.
The design method of this hidden wheel was suggested by Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan really doesn¡¯t want his money to go down the drain. It¡¯s all money, money in vain.
The boats began to launch slowly, and then the tugboat slowly towed the scum of the world, the Wang Bu Shi, to the center of the lake.
Zhu Houzhao was already dancing excitedly and was extremely happy.
People have already ordered people to explore this area of ??water. In most places, the water depth is sufficient to allow such a huge ship to pass.
He pulled Fang Jifan: "Let's get on the boat."
"Is there any danger?"
Fang Jifan looked at the behemoth in the middle of the lake with some worry.
Zhu Houzhao said: "You still can't trust me."
Fang Jifan trembled and shuddered, but he was pulled onto a small boat by Zhu Houzhao. Many small boats loaded with sailors and helmsmen set off together and arrived at the Scum of the World Wang Bushi. After that, people boarded the boat one after another. .
Fang Jifan stood on the deck and looked back at the huge chimney.
Fang Jifan said: "How many times has your highness tested the water?"
Zhu Houzhao said: "This is the first time."
Fang Jifan: ""
He thought that Zhu Houzhao had done experiments on other ships before.
"At leastit should be verified."
At this time, Zhu Houzhao held up a small flag and waved it.
Immediately, the sailors in the distance received the order. In the boiler room, a group of sailors began to light the stove. As the stove burned, steam began to come out. Fang Jifan felt a slight tremor under his feet, as if he was standing on a boiling boiler. Under the lid of the pot, he silently thought to himself, it's okay, it's okay, human progress comes from technological progress, and this progress begins today when we succeed to the vassal.
"Thissounds like Tan Sitong.
??Somewhat tragic.
At the bottom of the boat, the paddles finally began to rotate, and the whole boat slowly began to move. It slowly began to make splashes in the lake.
The motivation seems to be quite sufficient.
Zhu Houzhao was already dancing with excitement. He rushed to the wheelhouse, pushed the helmsman away, and turned the helm happily. The entire hull began to tilt slightly, and the tilt began to become more and more severe. Fang Jifan felt a force pushing him away. Going into the water, just when his face turned pale, the ship finally began to slowly become stable again.
The ship turnedthing. "
King Zhu Chong of the Liao Dynasty was stunned: "I don't know what you have to say."
"I heard that you are still living in Honglu Temple?" The first person who couldn't help it was Jingjiang King Zhu Yueqi.
When Zhu Chongshou heard this, he immediately lowered his head and remained silent.
On the other side, Xingwang Zhu Youqian smiled and said: "This is not a long-term solution. You see, Jingjiang King has bought a mansion with eighty acres, and is next to me; there is also Changyang King, Youxingshan King we all I bought it, and I think that Brother Wang is still in Honglu Temple, and we brothers and these juniors see it and feel anxious in our hearts."
Zhu Yueqi said from the side: "Yes, yes, how can you live without a fixed place, the prince? There must be more than a hundred people in your family. At your age, it's okay, but you have to think about the prince." That¡¯s right, now the price has risen again, our land has increased by more than 1,700 taels per acre, how much is this 100 acres of land?¡±
Several other county princes also began to persuade: "Uncle Wang"
When Zhu Chongshou heard this, he became very angry: "It's not that I can't afford it, but I can't bear it. I understand clearly that your Majesty has a share in Xishan Jianye, and His Royal Highness the Prince has a share. Fang also has the courage to call us here, just to buy them a house, even the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu and Gao is gone" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
